Chapter 1085: After the Great Victory

The Vietnamese army did not take advantage of the victory to kill the generals as the Guan Long army feared.

It's not that they don't want to, it's because they can't.

The first is that the consumption of the soldiers guarding the pass in this battle of Jiameng Pass is too large, especially the last attack that turned the situation around, although it achieved unimaginable results, but in the end it also made them pay a certain price.

In the process of chasing the fleeing enemy army, it is inevitable that there will be losses, but they will fall into the trap of the enemy army. When Sun Ning quickly gathered his soldiers and horses and escorted a large number of prisoners back, there were nearly 1,000 casualties.

Compared with a few thousand Vietnamese troops, tens of thousands of Guan Long army prisoners were too many, which made the Vietnamese soldiers even more reckless, just waiting for reinforcements from the rear to arrive.

Then there is the second factor, the strength of the Sichuan and Shu soldiers and horses is limited after all.

Why did Zhang Yanlang hardly send a single reinforcement when he learned that Jiameng Pass had been attacked by 100,000 enemy troops for more than half a month?

It's not because he really believes that Jia Meng Pass can block so many enemies, and it's not that he has given up this level and thousands of elite soldiers, but it's really that the soldiers and horses in his hands are also stretched. Look at the book

It is said that there are tens of thousands of troops in Langzhou, but in fact, there are no more than 20,000 of these people who are really available. And it is this little bit of soldiers and horses that have also been assigned to Langzhou and several important cities nearby to defend it, on the one hand, to guard against the Guan Long army that may break through the pass at any time, and on the other hand, to guard against the actions of Guan Long's secret spies that have infiltrated all over Sichuan and Shu.

In this way, how could he mobilize enough men and horses to support the front line in a short period of time, let alone organize a large army to take advantage of the situation to kill Ganlong after the news of the victory was returned.

As for the other precautions in Sichuan and Shu, the situation is actually similar, they are all defending, or they may be successful, but if they really want to mobilize troops and horses to attack, they don't have the ability.

This is also a helpless thing, who let the imperial court over the years have not less called the soldiers and horses of Sichuan and Shu into the south of the Yangtze River, to the two lakes and two Huai, and even into the Central Plains?

Yes, for Sun Ning, Sichuan Shu is the source of his rear troops, and it is an absolutely credible land of Longxing. The soldiers and horses trained here are naturally the first to be selected and placed on every most important battlefield.

As the Dayue court continued to regain lost territory, soldiers and horses from Sichuan and Shu could be seen everywhere in Jiangnan, Lianghu, Lianghuai, Liangzhou, Kaifeng, and even the Luoyang front, and the number of such soldiers and horses in various places was considerable, and they were the backbone of the official army...... In this way, the troops left to Chuan Shu are only left for self-preservation.

Even, this little force almost can't even protect itself, after all, who would have thought that Li Wannian of Guan Long would suddenly surprise Jia Meng Pass? Once this pass is really breached, the huge Sichuan and Shu will naturally never be able to defend the land against the enemy by relying only on this little soldier and horse.

Fortunately, Sun Ning himself filled in this biggest loophole, so that it did not cause a catastrophe.

But it is precisely because of this that no matter what aspect it is, it is impossible for the Vietnamese army to take advantage of the victory at this time to send troops to counterattack Ganlong.

At this time, what they were really busy arranging was to renovate the dilapidated Jiameng Pass, and then mobilize some soldiers and horses to replace the exhausted and wounded defenders of Guanzhong.

And Sun Ning himself also took this opportunity to return to Langzhou.

It's just that when he returned to Langzhou, everyone's attitude towards him was completely different, because he was the secret of His Majesty the Emperor and was already known to everyone.

Sun Ning took the honor of the emperor and risked his life to defend Jiameng Pass, and then took the lead in leading the troops to break through the Long army. The act itself was already sensational enough to outweigh the impact of the victory.

After learning of this, the ordinary people and soldiers were naturally shocked and admired, and then they were extremely excited, and bluntly said that under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, the Dayue Imperial Court will definitely be able to defeat all enemies and regain the world.

But for higher-ranking officials, there is only deep fear and fear.

Especially Zhang Yanlang, after learning the truth of this matter, he almost fainted in fright - if His Majesty the Emperor made a mistake, he would be wiped out by the nine clans. After all, the order to let Sun Ning go to the aid of Jia Mengguan was given by him personally.

So after Sun Ning returned to Langzhou, Zhang Taishou immediately took the lead in pleading: "It's the minister who is blind,

I didn't recognize Your Majesty, but fortunately, Your Majesty has the protection of the ancestors and the ancestors, and all evils will not invade, otherwise there is really a good one, and the minister will die without redemption......

Seeing this, Sun Ning hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up: "Zhang Taishou doesn't have to be like this, there is a way that those who don't know are not guilty. And this is my own decision, so what does it have to do with you?

"What's more, this time I am not a vain adventure, the first battle of Jiameng Pass to break through the Guanlong rebel thief will inevitably lay a solid foundation for the next battle to dominate the world, so what are you guilty of?"

After a lot of persuasion, the matter was revealed, and then Sun Ning had to face another batch of courtiers to congratulate and persuade.

Among these courtiers, there were not only those who came from Sichuan and Shu after hearing the news, but also those who came day and night after learning the news from Jinling. They were also extremely afraid and difficult to accept the emperor's risky behavior, even if the final result was very favorable to the Dayue court, they also had exhortations.

In this way, Sun Ning was not bothered, and he was perfunctory for a long time, and after reassuring everyone that he would not be in such danger again, he calmed everyone down.

After that, of course, there was a warm celebration.

This victory is indeed worth celebrating, even if it does not mention His Majesty the Emperor's performance of leading the soldiers and being wise and martial, just the great victory of breaking the enemy of 100,000 with thousands of soldiers is enough to make any Dayue subject rejoice.

As for the soldiers who participated in this battle, they all worked hard and made great achievements, and various rewards were naturally indispensable.

Sun Ning even personally held a cup and toasted every officer who participated in this battle, which attracted the whole army to be impressed and cheered all over the city.

Such a celebration party lasted for three days and three nights, and all the officers and officials were very drunk.

On the last day, even with Sun Ning's cultivation, he was also seven or eight points drunk, and when he was helped to his residence by Yang Xuan and Yan Yifei, even his steps were a little unsteady.

However, Sun Ning still refused the support of others, waved their hands to let them retreat, and took some stumbling steps to the courtyard specially prepared for him.

And just as Sun Ning walked along the path full of flowers and trees to the bedroom in front of him, the smile on his face suddenly flickered, and his movements stopped suddenly, and he stood there, looked at the porch not far away, and said in a deep voice, "Who is there?"

As the words came out, one person walked out, shaking a folding fan in his hand, with a warm smile on his face: "Grass people Tang Feng, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor......
